What, you didn’t think academia would just let the finest mind in science rot do you? When Einstein died in 1955, his grey matter was preserved for posterity. 46 slivers of his thinking cap have recently been donated to Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum. More »
It’s the year 2100. You wake up alone in a small, windowless room. The only other thing in the room is a small ball. Maybe the room is located in your city, but maybe it’s inside that new spaceship everyone’s talking about. How can you tell? More »
Einstein’s Twin Paradox is super confusing for me, every time I think I fully understand it, I find more questions. The Twin Paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity when one twin travels to outer space while the other twin stays on Earth. More »
One remarkable photo out of many in Life‘s quietly stunning photo gallery, The Day That Einstein Died: Dr Thomas Harvey, who famously dissected Einstein’s brain, cuts into one here. It might be Einstein’s. [Life via Jon Snyder]
The only thing creepier than robots gaining the power to alter their facial expressions to demonstrate emotions is when the robot in question happens to be modelled on noted genius Albert Einstein. More »
David Hanson, the roboticist who brought us the creepy cybernetic substitute son Zeno, is now offering an empathetic smiling Einstein bot for our general horrification.
Believe it or not, but it has taken 103 years and the combined power of various of the world’s top supercomputers to prove Eintein’s biggest equation right, resolving e=mc2 at the scale of sub-atomic particles. The feat has been achieved by a team of French, German, and Hungarian physicists led by Laurent Lellouch at the Centre for Theoretical Physics in France, and has finally answered a question that has puzzled scientists for decades: The Mysterious Case of the Disappearing Atom Mass!
Albert Einstein’s watch is for sale. It will be auctioned on October 16, just in time for you to count the remaining hours before they find God’s Particle or destroy the Galaxy at CERN. How do you know this 1930s Longines is actually Mr. Einstein’s watch? By looking at its back.
